HealtH & wellness fest 2017

It’s all about food and fun!

Above and left, scenes from last year’s event.

The Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce will present its 8th annual Health & Wellness Fest on April 22 at the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School, located at 350 Old Post Road in Port Jefferson, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The Port Jefferson Chamber has brought together a large number of health and wellness professionals to offer our visitors the latest information for all stages of life including pre-birth, childhood, adulthood and elder years. In addition to exhibitors from traditional medical fields, there will also be specialists in the areas of physical fitness, nutrition and holistic medicine. The exhibitors will focus on prevention, early detection and treatment measures and techniques.

We are delighted and honored to, once again, have our three renowned medical establishments — Stony Brook Medicine, John T. Mather Memorial Hospital and St. Charles Hospital at our fest this year.

They offer a wealth of professional health and wellness expertise and are providing free health screenings, special demonstrations, free giveaways and much more healthy living information.

Our tag line this year is still Eat Well, Live Well, emphasizing the fact that we are what we eat! Did you say

you liked eating healthy food? Well you will not be disappointed at this year’s Health & Wellness Fest. St. Charles Hospital is sponsoring their “food court” featuring all healthy food. A variety of breakfast and lunch items will be offered including overnight oatmeal, strawberry bars, smoothies, lentil soup and cauliflower pizza with toppings and fresh veggies with dip and hummus. Participants will be able to choose their selection with St. Charles’ Executive Chef Bill Dougherty and their dietitians, nutritionists and staff to assist with questions about healthy eating and diet.

At 9:30 after you have had a filling breakfast you can burn those calories off with a mini-yoga class with Diane MacDonald, a life transition coach, yoga teacher and co-founder of It Takes of Village Wellness here in Port Jefferson. For those of you who like to watch their fun, at 11:30 a dynamitic dance couple from the Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Port Jefferson Station will demonstrate the beauty of ballroom dancing, showing off the many different styles of couple dancing!

To complete your visit to this year’s fest have some fun checking your balance, learn more about exercising or stop by for some craft activities at our Port Jefferson Library table. There is something for everyone!

Healing, service and animals

This year at the 8th annual Health & Wellness Fest, attendees will learn the value of the healing powers of animals. We are very pleased to highlight three vendors that specialize in service animals.

First, and very exciting, we will have miniature therapy donkeys! These four-legged adorable donkeys have been rescued from circumstances that no one would want to entertain. Their “zen-like” grounded qualities aid in the healing of seniors, children and people with disabilities. Enjoy petting one with their Converse sneakers and discovery these gentle, kind beasts.

Dogs play so many roles in our society today and two of our vendors feature the relationship dogs can have with our ser-

vice men and women. Patriotic Services Dog Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on serving our veterans by raising the awareness for their needs and providing service dogs to those who may benefit from long-term mental and physical assistance. So come and meet Indee, short for Independence, a fox red Labrador and owner Glen Moody.

Our other animal vendor is Paws for War, who also train and place rescued dogs to serve and provide independence to our United States military veterans who suffer the emotional effect of the war. We appreciate all that these animals do for us and let’s give thanks to them and the service of our military men and women!

Acupuncture: Alternative or Complementary?

Over the last ten years of practice, I have noticed that acupuncture has gained acceptance in the medical community. But there is still much confusion of whether acupuncture is alternative or complementary medicine.

So, which term is correct? The short answer is both, for the most part acupuncture is complementary medicine, working with your doctor and specialists with a goal of ‘wellness’.

I work in conjunction with doctors, physical therapists and other medical professionals towards the end goal of benefiting the patient. I founded Natural Approach Healthcare in 2007 with the foundation that acupuncture helps the body do what it is made to do, which is to heal itself.

Acupuncture promotes a healing environment within the body.

Where Western Medicine ends is really where Eastern Medicine begins.

Many doctors are now referring their patients to acupuncture when current therapeutic methods are not working, are expensive, or are dangerous. The benefits of a therapy must outweigh the risks associated with it.

Good things happen when East meets West. Eastern and Western Medicines have the same goals: to ease pain and improve function. Outcomes are better when you combine both approaches.

For example, if you are dealing with chronic pain, Western Medicine can stop the pain quickly with medication or interventional therapy. However, Eastern Medicine can provide a longer-lasting solution to the root cause of the pain.

So, when is acupuncture an alternative? Only when Western Medicine has exhausted all avenues and have no explanation why there is still ‘pain’, or other conditions. Then acupuncture becomes an alternative, but patients would still benefit by a follow up visit with their doctors so their progress can be monitored.

Remember, healthcare is a team effort and you are captain of that team. You get to pick the members of your healthcare team. So, who is on your team?

THIS Year DO YOU Want To reverse Disease? Want To Lose Weight?

Feel Concerned You’re Locked Into Your Genes?

IF YOU THInk IT’S TOO LaTe TO CHanGe, reaD THe COmmenTS FrOm mY prOUD paTIenTS beLOW: The results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels.

This was accomplished in a little over 3 months.

Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months.

In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.

—D.L., age 64

“My pain has subsided considerably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/ IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.” ~ Nurse, age 62 “I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my fitness test and achieved my highest score ever! Thank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me.

I’m so pleased with the results.” ~ Military Surgeon, age 43

Reducing heart attack risk

Sedentary lifestyle increases risk even in the young

First, the good news: We have made great strides in reducing mortality from heart attacks. When we compare cardiovascular disease — heart disease and stroke — mortality rates from 1975 to the present, there is a substantial decline of approximately one-quarter. However, if we look at these rates since 1990, the rate of decline has slowed (1).

Plus, one in 10 visits to the emergency room are related to potential heart attack symptoms. Luckily, only 10 to 20 percent of these patients actually are having a heart attack (2). We need to reduce our risk factors to improve this scenario.

Some risk factors are obvious, while others are not. The obvious ones include age (men at least 45 years old and women at least 55

By David years old), family Dunaief, M.D. history, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes and smoking. Less obvious risk factors include gout, atrial fibrillation and osteoarthritis. Lifestyle modifications, including a high-fiber diet and exercise, also may help allay the risks.

Let’s look at the evidence.

Obesity On a board exam in medicine, if smoking is one of the choices with disease risk, you can’t go wrong by choosing it. Well, it appears that the same axiom holds true for obesity.

But how substantial a risk factor is obesity? In the Copenhagen General Population Study, results showed an increased heart attack risk in obese (BMI >30 kg/m²) individuals with or without metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high sugar) and in those who were overweight (BMI >25 kg/m²) (3). The risk of heart attack increased in direct proportion to weight.

Specifically, there was a 26 percent increase in heart attack risk for those who were overweight and an 88 percent increase in risk for those who were obese without metabolic syndrome. This study had a follow-up of 3.6 years.

It is true that those with metabolic syndrome and obesity together had the highest risk. But, it is quite surprising that obesity, by itself, can increase heart attack risk when a person is “metabolically healthy.” Since this was an observational trial, we can only make an association, but if it is true, then there may not be such thing as a “metabolically healthy” obese patient. Therefore, if you are obese, it is really important to lose weight.

Sedentary lifestyle If obesity were not enough of a wakeup call, let’s look at another aspect of

lifestyle: the impact of being sedentary. when someone has a heart attack? In a reA recent observational study found that cent analysis using data from the Nurses’ activity levels had a surprisingly high Health Study and the Health Professional impact on heart disease risk (4).

THEATER REVIEW

Theatre Three’s ‘Where There’$ a Will’ is simply charming

BY MICHAEL TESSLER

146739

SHELTER PET OF THE WEEK

Theatre Three’s latest production “Where There’$ a Will,” opened last Saturday night to an intrigued audience. Originally produced in 1985 by an eighteen-year-old Jeffrey Sanzel, this wonderful piece of theater is such a hidden treasure that I’m glad it resurfaced just in time for me to review!

Our story begins as the late millionaire Hiram Cedricson, a self-proclaimed “Potato King,” has assembled his widow (and fourth wife), her not-so-new lover and a slapdash theater crew of washouts, hasbeens and could-bes to hear his last will and testament be read aloud by a uniquely unqualified lawyer.

If they can accomplish this, they each receive $500,000. If they fail, the snarky widow and her lover get all the money.

So despite quarrels and some seriously conflicting personalities, the group agrees to the terms. What none of them realize is that Hiram Cedricson was the furthest thing from a writer and that his show would be an accidental comedy of epic proportions! The result is as Cedricson so eloquently puts it — “wonderfug.” What’s best is that the ghost of Cedricson and two of his former wives (one dead, one divorced) get to enjoy the chaos as casual spectators from the balcony, bickering among themselves through the process.

By every definition this is an all-star cast — immensely talented, perfectly

The cast

MEET BELLA! This little girl is Bella, who, as her name implies, is beautiful inside and out. A pug/ beagle mix, she is 5 years young, spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her vaccines. Bella’s family was no longer able to care for her, so they ended up having to bring her to Kent Animal Shelter. She is great with other dogs, cats and children, is full of energy, very sweet and affectionate and just loves to play! She would love to find her forever home — could that be with you? Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. For more information on Bella and other adoptable pets at Kent, please call 631-727-5731 or visit www.kentanimalshelter.com.

paced, and hilariously human. Expertly directed by Sanzel, each actor takes on a caricature so unique and well-written that it’s impossible not to feel emotionally invested in their success. There is such incredible range in their performances. All of these cast members could have and likely were leads in previous productions.

There are so many familiar faces that at times, and much to my amusement, I felt like I was watching a reunion show of Long Island’s greatest talent. Though I lack the column inches necessary to write in detail about each of these extraordinary actors, I do want to say that this is by far the best ensemble cast I’ve ever seen outside of a Broadway production. They are so much more than just funny — they are uniquely lovable, memorable and multidimensional.

This can be attributed not just to the enormous talent of this cast, but to the show’s ambitious and masterfully crafted script. Somehow, not a single character goes underutilized in both acts of this large-scale comedy.

Though not a musical, there are several musical numbers, all of which will have you grinning cheek to cheek. Throughout the show there is a wonderful score dreamed up by Theatre Three’s Tim Peierls, and Randall Parsons creates a visually striking set, which is complemented perfectly by Robert Henderson’s lighting design. The young but extraordinarily talented Peter Casdia expertly stage manages the production, ensuring a flawless experience. Costume designer Chakira Doherty must have had some fun putting together the most uniquely diverse set of costumes I can remember in recent productions.

Jeffrey Sanzel and his assistant director Andrew Markowitz put on a genuinely charming production, perfect for ringing in the spring season. “Where There’$ a Will” feels like a classic that has been playing forever, and that’s because maybe it should be.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson will present “Where’s There’$ a Will” through May 6 on the Mainstage. Tickets for adults $35; seniors and students $28; children ages 5 to 12 for $20. Children under 5 are not permitted. A matinee will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 3 with $20 tickets. To order, call 631-928-9100 or visit www.theatrethree.com.

Conserving century-old Vanderbilt Museum marine specimens

T

welve fish and five flamingos recently left their home in The Hall of Fishes at Centerport’s Vanderbilt Museum in the care of taxidermist George Dante, for a trip to his Wilderness Preservations studio in West Paterson, N.J., and some much-needed care and repair.

Dante’s work is part of the Marine Collections Conservation Project, and complements the extensive work being completed during the next few months by staff curators on nearly 1,500 of the Vanderbilt’s fluid-preserved ocean specimens. Over the past several years, significant gifts from the Roy M. Speer Foundation and the Robert D.L. Gardiner Foundation have allowed the Vanderbilt to undertake these much-needed conservation and restoration efforts.

Dante, an accomplished taxidermist, he has been working with the Vanderbilt over the past several years to conserve and preserve some of the animals in its Stoll Wing dioramas. Now he’s begun to work on some of the Museum’s critically damaged or decaying marine specimens, which Mr. Vanderbilt gathered during his global ocean voyages and collecting expeditions in the early 20th century. Collaborating with Dante are gifted artists Sean Murtha and Thomas Doncourt.

Murtha is repairing and restoring the background painting in a large Hall of Fishes diorama of flamingos and their clay pedestal nests along the coast of Cuba, Dante is cleaning and restoring the flamingos and Doncourt is restoring the clay flamingo nests and foreground vegetation.

“This phase of the project will address the dry mounted fish specimens that were originally prepared by Mr. Vanderbilt’s curator, William Belanske,” said Stephanie Gress, director of curatorial affairs for the Vanderbilt.

“His original paintings of these fish, done at the time they were caught, served as a color reference for the mounted fish skins. A dozen have been removed from display and are being carefully conserved by George Dante. He will address not only the damage and loss to the hand-painted skins, but also restore missing fins and tails. As many of these specimens were prepared nearly a century ago, they are extremely fragile and difficult to work with.”

“The original was painted by William Belanske, and therefore has historic importance.

Over the years, moisture has affected the background painting in a few different ways, discoloring it in many places and in a few areas causing the paint to crack and flake off.

“I am removing very loose chips of paint, stabilizing it with an acrylic polymer, and then painting in the missing areas, to match the color and style of the original. Meanwhile, George and Tom are conserving and restoring the birds and plants. When everything comes back together, it should have the impact that it did originally,” added Murtha.

Thomas Doncourt is consulting on foreground conditions and restoration, including ground surfaces and plant models, he said.

“The challenge is to coordinate work between Sean and George,” he said. “I remove foreground objects and materials so they can have access to the specimens and the background painting.”

Doncourt’s restoration work will include repairing the clay nests, made of painted plaster, and the branches and leaves of the rhododendron, fashioned out of beeswax.

“Then I will work with George to return the specimens, nests and foliage to their original places and make it look like nothing ever happened to disturb the scenic beauty.”

During his epic global journeys in the 1920s and 1930s, William K. Vanderbilt II (1878-1944) collected thousands of specimens of vertebrate and invertebrate sea life for the museum he was building on Long Island. His Hall of Fishes houses what is considered the world’s most extensive privately assembled collection of marine specimens from the pre-atomic era.

The Vanderbilt marine collection comprises 13,190 historic aquatic specimens housed in the two-story Hall of Fishes; in the Habitat, a natural-history diorama hall; and in an invertebrate gallery. The collection, in addition to the fluid-preserved marine life, includes vertebrate and invertebrate specimens, dried or preserved through taxidermy.

The Hall of Fishes constituted the beginning of today’s Vanderbilt Museum complex. Constructed in 1922, it began as a one-story structure open to the public each Wednesday during the years Mr. Vanderbilt lived on the estate.

Stony BRook UniveRSity

Hot bats, Clarke’s outing lead Seawolves to series sweep of Sacred Heart University Stony Brook’s baseball team’s hot bats kept going and sophomore right-handed pitcher Bret Clarke tossed his best outing of the season April 9 to give the Seawolves an 11-5 win. The victory at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard secured a four-game series sweep over Sacred Heart University for the Seawolves’ seventh straight win.

Clarke allowed just one earned run in seven innings of work and struck out a season-best nine for his first victory of the season, while April 8 hero, sophomore right fielder Dylan Resk blasted his third home run of the series as one of the Seawolves’ (15-14) 13 hits. Sophomore second baseman Brandon Janofsky recorded three hits on the afternoon and freshman designated hitter Michael Wilson drove in a game-best three runs.

“The guys finished the sweep of the series by continuing to have quality at bats, solid defense and strong pitching,” Stony Brook head coach Matt Senk said. “The weekend was a full team effort.”

Stony Brook jumped out early on Sacred Heart (7-22) with two runs in both the second and third innings. The Seawolves plated the two runs in the second on three hits, including an RBI single by Janofsky.

The two runs in the third were both driven in by Wilson on a two-out single.

Clarke picked up his first victory of the season and seventh of his career. He struck out a season-best nine.

Sophomore Dan McEvoy homered in the eighth inning. It was the first of his collegiate career. Senior first baseman Casey Baker improved his reached-base streak to 13 straight games, and senior center fielder Toby Handley extended his reachedbase streak to 16 straight games.

Stony Brook began a seven-game road

the University of Massachusetts Lowell for a three-game America East Conference series April 14 and 15.

Home runs not enough as softball team falls to UMBC Senior Lexie Shue and sophomore Irene Rivera homered on April 9 at University Field, but Stony Brook softball still fell, 5-3, to the University of Maryland Baltimore County in America East Conference play.

Shue homered in the bottom of the fifth inning, giving the Seawolves a 2-0 lead at the time, but UMBC scored five times in the top of the sixth, before Rivera’s solo home run to left center.

“We had opportunities, we’ve just got to make the most of them,” Stony Brook head coach Megan Bryant said. “We’ll regroup, get some good work in this week and get ready to go to Hartford.”

Melissa Rahrich lasted five innings on the mound for the Seawolves, giving up six hits and five runs. Lindsey Hughes tossed the final two innings, giving up no hits and no runs.

“We’ve got to give [Melissa Rahrich] some more run support,” Bryant said. “The

game’s changed a lot, so to expect her to be able to sit on just two runs is a lot to ask.”

Senior Sami Duffy went 2-for-3 at the plate, raising her batting average to .304.

She has four multiple-hit games so far this season. Freshman Jourdin Hering recorded a hit to stretch her hitting streak to four games. She’s now hitting .337 in her first collegiate season. Junior Chelsea Evans added a hit of her own for Stony Brook. Evans has an eight-game hitting streak, dating back to March 26. She’s hitting .288 so far this year.

The Seawolves are back in action on April 13, traveling to the University of Hartford for a doubleheader that begins at 2 p.m.

'Avalon Garden' by Sungsook Setton

By Irene ruddock Sungsook Setton of Setauket is a watercolor and ink artist whose work bridges East and West and has brought her international recognition. She has exhibited in Canada, Korea, Taiwan, England and the United States. Setton twice won Best in Show at the National Juried Exhibition by the Sumi-e Society of America.

When did you begin painting?

From an early age, I was always drawn to art and painted in the traditional western style. However, I began East Asian water and ink brush painting while revisiting Korea searching for my roots. I studied with Chinese and Korean masters who had me practice one stroke at a time for a month until it was perfect. They taught me that, just as musicians play scales and dancers practice steps, watercolor-ink painters practice the basic strokes to prepare for more intricate work. This began my personal journey to meld traditions of eastern and western art into my art.

What is the most important lesson you learned from your teachers?

One of the most important lessons is to achieve tranquility while you paint. Becoming one with the brush is an essential meditative experience that leads to tranquility.

Tranquility then leads to qi, which leads to the transcendence necessary for painting.

Can you tell us more about qi?

It is a life force or energy flow. It is a central Chinese principle — the harmony of yin and yang.

What else influences your art?

The most influential classic book for the Chinese water-ink artist is the Qing Dynasty reference "Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden," which teaches that polished skills lead to a deeper understanding of the wonders of nature.

While engaged in painting landscape, it’s almost a spiritual nutrition for me.

Surrounded by nature, my mind is calm and clear, and I can focus on my subject. I then use suggestions in my brushwork to interpret forms in their simplest state. By paring back, I hope to reveal and capture the qi of nature. Brush painting represents the perfect meeting between the qi of the artist and the qi of nature.

Food drive underway

What is your best advice for people viewing your work?

When viewing the paintings, look also for the empty spaces as well as the positive spaces. The nonpainted area, called ying, is there to allow you to breathe deeply and to grow and to achieve peace.

You have just written a beautiful book titled "The Spirit of the Brush." Can you explain why you chose the title?

'My work, based on East Asian brush painting and Western artistic innovation, can be seen as expressive abstraction, allowing me to harness the spirit of qi.'

— SungSook Setton were projected onto a large screen while the Ardesco group played the music at the Wang Center at Stony Brook University.

After that, I have done live performances with a jazz musician.

My brush has taken me on a spiritual journey. With my brush, I feel that I am not only a painter, but a dancer and a musician.

I sing songs with my brush and dance with it. It is the goal of every watercolor painter to become one with the brush, so the title "The Spirit of the Brush" is fitting for me.

What is your best advice for artists?

Tell me more about the book.

My advice for artists is to remember that nature always has new things to teach you!.

It is a story of my personal journey. It is also a book that teaches others how to achieve water-ink paintings by providing information on brush and paper materials. It is a guide for learning how to incorporate this art form into their own unique work — finding their own path, or dao, to where their brush will lead them.

Where can we view your paintings and purchase your new book?

When you say that you sing songs with your brush, how has that transpired?

I’ve spent a lot of time depicting music in my paintings over the years. I was invited to participate in a multimedia performance Brush Voice. During the performance, my abstract expressionist paintings

Come visit me at my art studio at 22 Mud Road in Setuaket where I also teach.

I am exhibiting my paintings at the Art League of Long Island with the Long Island Sumi-e Society member show from April 22 to May 7. The exhibition is called The Fragrance of Ink.

Curried Deviled Eggs

By BarBara Beltrami No need to take a hard-boiled attitude toward the surfeit of Easter eggs. I know, I know. How many hard-boiled eggs can a family eat, especially when there are alternatives like marshmallow peeps, jelly beans and chocolate bunnies? Actually, quite a few if they are recycled into other dishes. For eggs-ample, egg salad with green onions and dill, curried deviled eggs and sliced egg canapes, all of which, by the way, make eggs-cellent hors d’oeuvres before Easter dinner.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings INGREDIENTS: • • • • •

8 hard-boiled eggs ¼ cup mayonnaise ¼ teaspoon prepared mustard 1 teaspoon curry powder 1 heaping tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 heaping teaspoon dried • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper • Salt and pepper, to taste DIRECTIONS: Peel eggs and slice in half end to end.

Gently scoop out yolks and place in small bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, curry powder, cayenne, parsley and salt and pepper. Vigorously whip together until mixture has a smooth creamy consistency. Scoop or pipe into hollowed egg whites. Cover and refrigerate until using. Serve with pickles, olives or celery and carrot sticks.

Bring the colors of Easter to your garden

By EllEn BarcEl You may have seen ornamental pepper plants in the stores this time of year. NuMex Easter Ornamental Pepper (Capsicum anuum) is a neat plant for Easter decorating. The plant look like a bouquet of peppers above the dense greenery.

This is a small plant, generally about 8 inches high and 10 inches wide, making it ideal as a hostess gift or a table centerpiece. It produces beautifully colored ornamental peppers (purple, cream, yellow and orange).

Yes, it can be grown from seed, but you won’t have a plant ready for this Easter. The ornamental pepper blooms and produces peppers all summer long, maturing in 72 days. While there are many varieties of peppers that are available as heirloom plants, the NuMex Easter is a hybrid. Can you save the seeds to grow in future? You can try it, but as with all hybrids, it’s unlikely that the plants will breed true. Buy the hybrid seeds if you want to grow this one in your garden or the plants from a nursery.

The name Easter pepper came from the pastel color of the peppers when they first appear on the plant. The plant was bred by the New Mexico State University’s Chili Pepper Institute — it also developed a Valentine’s Day pepper (red and white), a St. Patrick’s Day pepper (green) and a Halloween pepper (orange and black) among many others.

This is a great plant for Long Island considering it tolerates heat, humidity and drought. Tiny white flowers form first on the plant to be followed by the brightly colored peppers. Tidy up the plant periodically by removing old, dried peppers and there’s more of a chance of new peppers forming.

Like tomatoes, a close relative, pepper plants like sun. A soil pH of 6.0 or above provides optimal growing conditions, so yes, you probably need to lime your soil if growing them in the ground. If you are growing your peppers in a container and you’ve bought it already growing, the soil is probably just fine.

Is the Easter pepper edible? Different authorities have different opinions. Some say it’s purely an ornamental plant with taste varying from plant to plant. Other authorities, including the NMU say yes, it is edible but extremely hot. In any event, do not consume peppers from the plants grown commercially as ornamentals because you won’t know what kind of chemicals have been used on them.

This is also true of plants like potato vines. Yes, you sometimes get sweet potatoes from the vines in fall, but again, you don’t know what chemicals have been used by the grower, since they are not intended for human consumption. If you want peppers, or sweet potatoes, to eat, select varieties and plants that are grown specifically for human consumption. Besides unwanted chemicals, these

plants have been selected for various qualities like taste, time to maturity, keeping quality and highest yield.

The NuMex Easter pepper plants are not frost tolerant, so, if growing them outdoors over the summer, you need to either treat them as an annual or bring them indoors for the winter. According to NMU, chili plants grown indoors in a sunny location and given optimal care can last for 10 or more years.

The plants are available locally usually where ornamental or house plants are sold. Seeds are available from a number of growers, but the seeds of this ornamental as well as many others developed at NMU are available from the Chili Pepper Institute itself (www.chile.nmsu.edu).

Looking for other Easter plants?

Consider the Easter cactus — similar to the Christmas cactus but it blooms in spring — as well as a pot of spring flowering bulbs for this time of year.

Remember, Easter lilies are highly toxic to cats. So, if you have cats either don’t bring Easter lilies into the house or make sure that the plants are in a room that the cats can’t get into. Not only is the plant toxic but the water that the cut flowers are in can be dangerous for them as well.

Happy spring!

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

BNL’s Zahl upgrades microscope software

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF When he was in high school in Negenborn, Germany, Percy Zahl built his own computer, with some help from one of his father’s friends. Nowadays, Zahl spends considerable time improving the computer capability of an open-source community drive software project that helps researchers see structures and interactions at a subatomic level.

Recently, Zahl, who is an associate scientist in the Proximal Probe Microscopy facility at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory, completed an extensive upgrade to software called Gnome X Scanning Microscopy, or GXSM, that adds a whole suite of new features.

Zahl re-coded about half of the original 300,000 lines of code during this project.

The software, which is used to operate any kind of scanning probe microscopy system which includes atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, has a wide range of applications, from understanding catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions, to capturing gases, to biomedical sensors.

Oliver Monti, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry and a professor of physics at the University of Arizona, has been working with Zahl for over four years and has been using this system to explore atomic and molecular-scale processes that determine efficiency in plastic solar cells and other next-generation low-energy-use technologies. He said he uses the GXSM for data analysis.

’Zahl has been essential in helping us figure out how to sift through the data and quickly focus on the most important observations.’

— OLIVER MONTI

Zahl “often introduces modifications and upgrades as instantaneous response to some scientific need,” which has “helped us solve specific problems efficiently,” Monti explained in an email. A former student of Monti’s needed to analyze moleculeto-molecule interactions. The two came up with an algorithm to study that and, unprompted, Zahl “introduced a version of this algorithm to his software.”

Monti said he is “very much aware of the most recent release,” which he considers a “major upgrade” and he is in the process of installing it.

Horoscopes for the third week of April ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, maintain your composure in light of a sticky situation that you are called upon to handle in the next few days.

Others will notice your calm demeanor.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, emotions can be a little distracting this week as sparks fly in a new relationship. Avoid going overboard but enjoy this exciting time in your life.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, you are content to take it easy and to follow a familiar routine for now rather than branching out into new things. Take a flier on new friendships and you will be glad you did.

Harnassing the Technology of our Research Giants

The new software allows the export of images in formats such as PDF and SVG, which are editable and resolution independent, Zahl explained. A PDF output of a graph has publication quality, while the images with high-resolution displays are enhanced and sharper than the previous bitmap PNG files.

The upgrade also includes making a remote control process for automating scanning and manipulation tasks “easy to use,” which is a “big plus for less experienced users,” Zahl explained.

It can help automate complex or tedious repetitive jobs.

As an example, Zahl said the need to scan an image that takes 10 minutes each for 20 different settings creates a laborious task.

“I can either sit there and enter manually a new number every 10 minutes” or he can program a script that he made to use a list of bias voltages and hit execute in the new remote console, he explained, leaving him time to work on other projects for the next two hours and 20 minutes.

Recently, Zahl ran a spectra covering the area of a molecule, which is a task he can do reliably without worrying about user typos or errors.

An additional noncontact atomic force microscopy simulation plug-in module provides researchers with a more efficient

SPOTLIGHTING DISCOVERIES AT (1) COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB (2) STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY & (3) BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB

way to generate data. The new approach measures the force between atoms and molecules of the surface of a sample and a probe smaller than the diameter of an atom. Zahl has calculated and simulated forces between atoms, taking into account all atoms of a molecule and the probe atom and finds the equilibrium position of his probe. Using that three-dimensional force field, he can extract an image that he compares to the model.

Zahl spends about three quarters of his time working with users like Monti, while he dedicates the remaining time to his own projects. He appreciates the opportunity to work with many different systems and with people in a wide range of scientific disciplines.

“It’s really as diverse as it can get in this particular field of fundamental surface science — a specialty of solid state physics,” Zahl explained in an email. He has the experience to work with many different sample types while still continuing to learn “all the tricks on how to get the best images possible.”

Monti appreciates Zahl’s dedication to his work. “Data processing and analysis can be challenging,” he explained. His students often compare a trip to BNL to drinking from a firehose.

Zahl has been “essential in helping us figure out how to

sift through the data and quickly focus on the most important observations,” Monti added.

That appreciation extends well beyond Monti’s lab. “Whenever I meet colleagues across the world who had the pleasure to interact with [Zahl], they lavish praise on his scientific and technical expertise,” Monti said.

Bruce Koel, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University, appreciated Zahl’s contribution to his research on chemical reactions at surfaces. Zahl has “enabled us to do very high impact research,” Koel explained in an email. This work would “not have been possible without [Zahl’s] technical support and guidance about what experiments could be done.”

A resident of Rocky Point, Zahl rides the 20 miles to work as often as he can on one of several of his bicycles. An avid cyclist, Zahl has a high-end racing bike, a commuter bike and a mountain bike from those “beloved times” riding mountain trails in Switzerland.

In Chile, he reached a top speed of around 56 miles per hour descending the Osorno Volcano. In a YouTube video of his ride, he can be seen passing a car in a clearing along the windy road.

As for his work, Zahl remains committed to continuing to improve the software scientists use to enhance their visual understanding of the small surfaces of the substances they study.

“I am pretty much always working on some new details or fixing this and that tiny issue,” he said. “No software is ever done. It’s evolving.”

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Try not to take things too personally when you start receiving feedback, Cancer. Everyone has an opinion, and most people share theirs with good intentions.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

The truth will ultimately set you free, Leo. Seek the truth when handling a difficult problem and this will eventually make the solution easier to find.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

You might want to hold off on an ambitious project for another month, Virgo.

This will give you more time to develop a plan to complete the project.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, you may need assistance, but no one is stepping up as a candidate at this juncture. Wait a bit longer and someone is sure to step up to the challenge.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, you can daydream about being on your own personal island, but the tasks that need to get done will still be waiting for you. Face things head-on.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, a trusted friend is willing to hear your side of the story and offer a new perspective and some advice. You need to win this person’s trust back.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Your presence is a gift to someone who needs you even if you get tongue-tied and don’t know what to say, Capricorn.

Let your company serve as support.

Things will fall in place.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, you may find yourself falling back on old habits in the days ahead.

Do your best to avoid these habits, remembering why you kicked them in the first place.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, friends and family often look to you for support because you can be such a calming presence. Share this gift with as many as you can.

Town of Brookhaven honors April’s Business of the Month

At the April 6 Town Board meeting, Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) honored Albert’s Pizza as Business of the Month for March in Council District 3. The award is given to a business deserving special recognition for the positive impact it has on the community.

Owned by Richard Baer and Brian Jablonsky, Albert’s Pizza has been an outstanding community partner for

many years, providing jobs for local residents. Baer, who has lived in Ronkonkoma for over 30 years, recently launched his “Imagine the Pizzabillities” campaign. It is a “pay-it-forward” program where people come in, buy a pizza, decorate the box and have it sent to someone in the community to brighten their day. “Rich and Brian have made a big difference in the lives of so many peo-

‘On the Wings of a Butterfly’

By Jacob Nieto Age 11, Central Islip

Vivid colors, on the wings of a puny butterfly make vibrant pictures in your head, Dazzling designs on a small butterfly gracefully flying away give you brilliant ideas to conquer the difficult struggles in life, The magnificent butterflies soaring gracefully through the huge world, gaining people’s fascination, Lavish pictures taking over all of your thoughts, as if the colorful pictures just made you into a peaceful and loving person, Bright colors on a small butterfly’s wings that can be found in the middle of a dark and deep rainforest floor, Highlighted colors on a butterfly’s wing matching the beauty of the loved environment in the enormous world, A vast environment filled with bright colorful butterflies flying through the air,

Fabulous designs on a butterfly’s wing that is even more intricate than a colorful flower softly flowing down an amazing river, Unique designs on a butterfly’s wing making its predators fearful to come near it again, Colorful art trying to replicate an astonishing butterfly’s beauty, but nothing can be more precious than the real butterly, it is a wonderful gift, Don’t judge a slow, pale caterpillar that can evolve into a magnificent butterfly with huge wings that are as beautiful as the environment, Astonishing butterflies fluttering all day long, brighten up everyone’s dull day, making it into a new fantastic day.
